Fresh fish and chips in Holloway Down
Party fish and chip van in Holloway Down, cooked to order
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include street parties and neighbourhood events and retirement parties, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In Holloway Down, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Holloway Down is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Holloway Down, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Holloway Down questions
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Holloway Down?
The closest is Maryland station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
